What is Big Walk?
Big Walk is a cooperative adventure developed by House House and published by Panic. Friends explore a wide-open world, find routes, solve puzzles, and communicate with proximity-aware voice/text chat and in-game tools rather than traditional quest directions.
Explore together
Pick a direction, cross the landscape, and regroup when the route splits.
Solve puzzles
Share what each player can see and move through obstacles together.
Keep communicating
Switch between speech, text, gestures, and tools as the scene changes.
Its defining idea is talking plus walking: communication changes with distance, walls, the environment, and tools such as walkie-talkies. Gestures, toys, and an improvised group language help players work through challenges and discover hidden content.
